Part of its space saving is achieved through its extension interface to a motherboard. This CPU module has a Samtec QSH-060-01-L-D-A connector for attaching to a system, providing 120 pins in a compact form factor. The matching connector that your system must have is the QTH-060-01-L-D-A.

Before designing your own motherboard, you might consider purchasing the M9G2, which includes this CPU module and a motherboard with all the CPU interfaces made available for immediate testing.

The CPU module comes with Linux 2.6 pre-installed. A CD-ROM is provided with WinCE6.0 BSP which you can install optionally. Source code of both Linux and WinCE packages and drivers are included as well.
